Sicario
Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro, and Josh Brolin sell this movie like there is no tomorrow. It is one of my favorite movies and I am happy to watch it again when people ask about it.

If I had a one sentence review for this movie it would be “Turok comes to the big screen”. Turok was a game for Nintendo that you found a island with Dinosaurs. Gonna be honest, I don’t remember the story at all, but I remember fighting Dinosaurs as a kid.

Southpaw
The story is very deep and emotional bringing hope, no pun intended, and stress from start to finish. You can tell they the writers did research or at least had first hand knowledge of the pain of losing a spouse and mother to provide Oona and Jake.

You People
This movie was funny. Truly funny. Poking fun at everyone as well as showing the immediate defenses people put up when the possibility of racism occurs.
Movies
Hidden Figures
This easily a household favorite. Tells a wonderful story of triumph in the face of overwhelming adversity both foreign and domestic. The entire team did a great job presenting their characters and it is a great feel good movie. I mean who doesn't want to defeat the Russians every day?

BlacKKKlansman
I honestly never thought about watching this movie. I knew it came out. I knew it was supposedly good. I knew it was political which is probably why I never watched it. Overly political movies are not really my thing. However, I watched it tonight and I was wrong. It was so good.

Nobody
Take your John Wick style action and add a little bit of comedic relief and you have “Nobody”. Now that I am writing this, and thinking about it, it is basically John Wick with more intentional comedy element. That statement doesn’t take away from what it is.

Mortal Kombat (2021)
Cheesy. Just like it was in the 90s and it is intentionally supposed to be that way and that is ok. If you have played any of the current video games or seen videos of them, you know that there is a fountain of blood and comic gore. This movie is right in line with that.

Cherry
Cherry was Fan-freakin-tastic. Tom Holland was amazing. That is your TLDR. Cherry is the story of a drug addict telling his story of pre-drugs to post-drugs and all that goes with it. From falling in love, to falling in line, to losing friends, to falling from grace.

Monster Hunter
What an awful movie. Like I knew it was going to be bad, but there are some decent stars in it, but dear God they have to be broke to do this movie. Overall, the injuries the characters sustain have no lasting effect, apparently a minigun and a .50 Cal machine gun do NO DAMAGE to monsters.

Army of the Dead
First off, I expected this movie to be full of the typical zombie things and full of cheezy/chringy lines. I was thinking a bad mash up of Zombieland and the terrible crowdfunded movie Range 15. I expected it to be so bad I wouldn’t be able to finish it, like Range 15. However, I was wrong.

Red Sparrow
I know people hate Jennifer Lawrence, but she does a great and believable job with this. My wife noticed that he accent sucks, but she used to speak Russian so it is easier for her to hear. I on the other hand, didn't feel like it ever waivered out of her voice. It was consistent.
